Boomerang has developed an interactive, digital messaging solution to help contact centres drive down their operational costs and deliver a more consistent approach to the management of customer facing services. It can be deployed immediately, without the need for complex integration and offers a simple yet intuitive interface, allowing organisations to build custom triage workflows and automate the management of service requests.
The solution leverages the penetration and convenience of SMS. Customers can raise support requests or enquiries by text and are guided through an automated ‘Q&A’ process via SMS, which helps the organisation to pinpoint the nature of the request. If the enquiry cannot be addressed automatically using this process, an email report summarising the Q&A is submitted to the relevant department, enabling an agent to follow up armed with qualified information. The solution also utilises Boomerang’s Email-2-SMS capability, which allows an agent to interact with the customer via SMS, directly from their email client.
